Mad.[/qb][/QUOTE]Or, to quote Andy Probert in the E-D blueprints booklet, "In classic Star Trek, the phasers came from the Special Effects Department." [QUOTE]And originally posted by Reverend: [qb]When designing ships there is always the temptation to add in some cool features that could be heavy weapons emplacements, some fancy shield emitter or what-have-you.[/qb][/QUOTE]When I was designing ships for a sim group a few years ago, the commander of a new ship wanted it to be an [i]Akira[/i] (shocker), but he wanted new special techno zhorlord fanboyish systems on it, so I ballsed it & used that "K-layer subspace concealment" thing from the DS9TM & gave him a Trekkified version of the pulse plasma cannon as seen on EarthForce [i]Omega[/i]-class destroyers on B5; I figured it was a nice semi-non-lethal alternative. He never DID figure out the difference. [QUOTE]Also posted by Reverend: [qb]I think that allowances should be made for the plastic modelers because unlike the CG 3D modelers or 2D artists like myself, they are restricted by the materials of their medium and the time and effort it takes to build one of these things.[/qb][/QUOTE]True. Plastic is a BITCH. I've got this great single-engine-lock design ready to be worked on, but I can't find a right-sized saucer. I need something the diameter of a CD & I tried gluing together several fucked-up misburned CD coasters I had lying around & then shaping them, but that proved..."unwise." [/QB][/QUOTE]
